This map visualizes homesteads in Uganda that reported a RVF infection, along with corresponding subdistrict borders.
The goal of our study is to evaluate factors that may increase the risk of RVF infections occurring at homesteads with livestock. Most human RVF infections are a result of contact with infected livestock.
In order to conduct our study, we must identify homesteads that did not report a RVF infection, but yet are still similar to case homesteads in the number and species of livestock.
We must select 2 “control” homesteads for each “case” homestead. These control homesteads must correspond to the same subdistrict, but not fall within 3 kilometers of a case homestead. Blue dots represent case homesteads, and red buffers with a radius of 3 kilometers have been placed around each case homestead to represent the area in which control homesteads cannot be selected.
We would like the control and case homesteads to match according to livestock species (cattle, sheep/goats), count (0, 1-10, 11-50, >50), and breed (local, exotic).
For each case farm in your subdistrict, please provide of the coordinates of 2 farms with similar characteristics that are outside of the red buffer.
You may click on subdistricts and buffers to see information about the number of case farms, number of control farms required, district, and subdistrict names.
